The XR / base one is $120. So Dagabond is right. A good little earner for someone...

When I went back to pick up the car he stated that no only fairmont/Ghia models had the illuminated switches because there was a module that it different to the XR's and if I wanted that module would cost me $1800. I knew that was BS and I couldn't be bothered arguing with him. So I'm still in the dark if you know what I mean. :tears: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1583-blue-window-switches/page/2/#findComment-16643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I poped the switches to see cause it bugged me and I found a sealed switch that had no hope of lighting it up. Would be interested to see if the Fairmont ones light up.

Guest xr6 turbo Guests Posted 10/04/03 08:15 AM Share Posted 10/04/03 08:15 AM Hi XR6TK1W1, I have just pulled apart the switches and I've got a quick question for you, if you don't mind. I presume that the windows are negative switching so I was wondering where the input for the lighting was (where would I find it on the circuit board.)Thanks for all your helpRob Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1583-blue-window-switches/page/2/#findComment-16762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR6TK1W1 Member 435 Member For: 22y 2m 18d Location: Wellington NZ Posted 11/04/03 07:31 AM Author Share Posted 11/04/03 07:31 AM Umm sheesh now I have to think. The windows are actually hooked to the anode ( pos ) side of the LED if you are doing the single switch its the top right hand contact. Now if you look at the PC board you will see a small hole in about the middle to the left hand side of the board. This is where you have to install a new pronge to get it to the connector. You can see where to hook it as it is the only free wire from memory. It also lines up with the hole. I used aluminium to do this. And this is what I soldiered the resistor to. I hope this makes sence. If not get back to me and I'll try to explain better.
